Kia ora Marshland whānau, This term all tamariki will be learning, building on, and practising their pepehā. A pepehā is a way of introducing ourselves in te reo Māori. To introduce ourselves we should tell the story of how we arrived here, and the story does not start with ourselves!!! Here is an example of Jacqui, Riki, Taryn and I giving our pepehā - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cWNmoB_ltYAnQFuawsgMBl8Ok6vBlYoVI5pi6c0iyK8/edit?usp=sharing Please encourage your tamariki to recite their pepehā to you.
Haere Mai and Welcome to the Māori Blogger site for Marshland School. This site has been created to celebrate the teaching and learning of Māori at Marshland School. The Māori culture makes us unique and special as kiwis is our unique and beautiful indigenous culture. We can all connect with our ‘kiwiness’ through Te Reo me ōna Tikanga Māori, and showcase our unique gifts to the rest of the world! We welcome you as whānau, kaiako and ākonga to learn together and embrace the concept of AKO.
